We believe that a social market economy leads to more employment and prosperity, and ultimately to an inclusive economic growth. Corporate social responsibility measures are ideally aligned to the core business of a company and make a valuable contribution to society.

 

GPCCI wants to provide a platform for a lively discussion on challenges and solutions on how to conduct business responsibly while maintaining a healthy financial bottom line. Here, we present the guiding principles of our work, as well as the various networks and initiatives, that GPCCI has joined for this purpose.

UN Global Compact

The UN Global Compact (UNGC) is an initiative to align companies’ strategies and operations with universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and take actions that advance societal goals. GPCCI strongly supports this initiative by making a clear statement of this commitment to our stakeholders and the general public. We are upholding these ten principles in every business we do.
Honorable Merchant

The Honorable Merchant

GPCCI operates and transacts business based on the guiding principles of the Honorable Merchant. The honorable merchant was not only the self-conception of German Hanseatic merchants of the past, but should also be the guiding principle for today’s managers. We greatly encourage our member companies and partners to adhere and commit to these principles and act ethically on their day-to-day business transactions.
